200 mph club

has anyone done over 200 mph on a set of wheels ?

i have been down brunters at a fair old speed but only about 183

i would like to sample over 200 mph - I guess i need to hire the m600 for the day ?

He did 197mph

I've done it in the GT.

[Gadgeroonie]

wow 200 plus on a bike is pretty fast !

what was the wind and noise like ?

i take it you did it on a private road !

with stock tyres on (adrian had 295's so lower top speed) we can technically get above 200mph on the limiter with our extended rev limits like Adrian.

Done nearly 190mph in the Ultima through the timing lights at brunters and faster than that in less legal circumstances.

Think I have more chance of hitting it in the M5 if I take the limiter off gonna give it a go at brunters in the summer in the noble, might even slap a couple of 285/35/18's on to help it on a bit

178 and still pulling hard in the porker. Had to slow down because of hole in the runway ahead. I've been down one hole at Brunters this year with fairly disastrous consequences and didn't fancy going for the double.
I'm sure on the main runway at Brunters 200 would be within reach. Might have to shed a few pounds first.

I still argue about that beam, from memory it calculated to over 200 at 7950 limit on 295's

Ho hum, I doubt it was wrong

[andygtt]

I calculated it to be 198mph on 295's at 7950rpm

but with stock size tyres its about 4mph more

[F.C.]

Maxed out in my ultima Just over 7200rpm so should be 210ish (speedo went moody over 160)

I've done 200+ in EddieC's 700bhp GT-R at Brunters.

Slightly off topic but this made me think.

A mate of mine is into drag racing on a bike. He chooses the Street Bike class and has done
203 mph in 7.6 seconds. I asked him "with the right gearing and a long enough piece of tarmac
how fast would your bike go?" This bit suprised me "about 260 mph and then the back wheel
would just spin up as the air resistance overcame the grip at the rear end" Phew. Scarey.

I have had 260 down the Mulsanne

[Gadgeroonie]

wow 260 ! what were youi driving ?

How many wheels in a set?

Train / Plane?

[Gadgeroonie]

well i guess a train that can do over 200 mph would be impressive !
